The New New Left

Steven Malanga says that government is full of waste and self interest. Who knew?

I enjoy the following quote, but I am afraid it is wishful thinking:

I think we are on the verge of seeing a new taxpayers' revolt in the U.S. at the state and local level, as the price of the expanding public economy becomes very difficult to bear. We see all sorts of spending cap initiatives and taxpayer bills of rights emerging in states, as well as legislation to rein in the power of public sector unions. We may be on the verge of a revolution at the state and local level that mirrors what we have seen in Washington.
